I found John H. Hill listed on the 1856 Census of Adair Co. IA. My gggrandfather was John F. Hill, sometimes confused as John H. Hill, due to the writing of the census taker. I know that my gggrandfather, John F. Hill, wife, Labana Hill, and children, Alexander, Luretta, Mariah Louise, Nancy, Mary, and Irene were in IA between the years of 1854 and 1858. My ggrandmother, Irene Hill, was born in IA in 1854. Due to the fact that these years fall between the regular Federal Census years, this information his been quite difficult, to say the least, to find. If anyone has access to the actual 1856 census record, and could look to see if the name might be John F. Hill, or might list his wife, Labana, or any of the above children, I would surely love to know.

Thanks,
